Cult hit ‘Titanic’ moves to bigger off-Broadway theater

The show will continue and oooooo!

« Titanic, » the hilarious off-Broadway musical parody of the 1997 film « Titanic » that’s cleverly told through the songs of Celine Dion, will travel to the Daryl Roth Theater on Union Square East beginning Sunday, November 20.

The show, which The Post called “by a nautical mile the funniest musical in town”, plans to conclude its successful run at the Asylum Theater in Chelsea – under a closed Gristedes – on November 13 and then play a limited engagement to Daryl Roth through February 19, 2023.

Tickets are now on sale.

Co-creators Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli didn’t expect their cruise aboard « Titanic, » produced by Eva Price, to last this long, let alone transfer rooms.

« We all really thought this was going to be a really fun summer run, and we didn’t think it would actually be a huge hit that would take us into the winter, » said Mindelle, who also plays Celine Dion wonderfully. , told the Post. « It was truly a blessing. »

After a slow start in June, “Titanic” gradually gathered a devoted following of fans, who sang along with “My Heart Will Go On” during the finale, and started selling out almost every night. Only scattered seats remain for performances at the Chelsea theatre.

« Deep down, I was like, ‘We’re a tiny little off-Broadway show. How are we going to survive?' » said Rousouli, who also plays Jack Dawson. started to pick up steam and it became a thing, which is amazing. »

The larger Daryl Roth – where Fuerza Bruta chilled audiences for nine years – has room for around 100 more seated spectators, bringing the total to some 270. But the Blue-led musical aims to keep its disjointed.

The director said the front rows will be « a kind of VIP experience » to « retain that fun, cozy Asylum vibe that we’ve established. »

Mindelle added: « There will always be intimacy. Tye has made sure that we always play on all sides and that there will be people very close to us, which I personally like because it gives the public the impression of being in something special and secret.

The VIPs have already descended the stairs of the « Titanic ». Andrew Lloyd Webber, whose « Bad Cinderella » hits Broadway in February, stopped by recently. Just like « Titanic » actor Victor Garber, who is a character in the musical. Really.

Frankie Grande plays the dual role of Captain Andrews and the architect, who is only referred to as « Victor Garber ».

« He was very flattered, » Blue said. « I saw him double laugh at that line. »

Orchestrator Nicholas Connell added: « He said he would be back! »
